Scum
Breaking Binary Chains: Scum and Dumbass Dichotomy
Lyrics
It’s either wrong or right
Addressing the dichotomy of right and wrong.
Pink or blue
Reference to traditional gender colors, questioning societal norms.
If I’m outside the box
Challenging conventional thinking or norms.
It’s not good enough for you
Expressing dissatisfaction with societal standards.
You told me to be one or the other
Recounting advice to conform to binary choices.
But you’re in the middle too
Highlighting the hypocrisy of someone else not adhering to binary standards.
Somewhere between scum and dumbass
Describing someone as morally ambiguous, caught between negative traits.
I guess your morals don’t apply to you
Critiquing someone for not practicing what they preach morally.
Why do you expect me to be part of the binary
Questioning societal expectations of conformity.
I’m not fucking robotic
Rejecting the idea of being emotionless or strictly conforming.
Teaching kids they’re not themselves
Criticizing educational practices that suppress individuality.
Where’s the fucking logic
Expressing confusion about the lack of rationality in certain teachings.
You told me to be one or the other
Reiterating the pressure to conform to binary choices.
But you’re in the middle too
Pointing out the hypocrisy of someone not adhering to binary standards.
Somewhere between scum and dumbass
Describing someone as morally ambiguous, caught between negative traits (repeated).
I guess your morals don’t apply to you
Critiquing someone for not practicing what they preach morally (repeated).
You respect me when its convenient to you
Calling out conditional respect based on convenience.
Yet I’ve seen you at the drag nights downtown
Observing contradictory behavior at alternative lifestyle events.
Well how will my Jimmy Choos feel on your face
Sarcastically questioning how a luxury brand would feel in a disrespectful situation.
When you choose not to use my pronouns (ouch!)
Expressing discomfort when pronouns are not respected.
You told me to be one or the other
Recalling advice to conform to binary choices.
But you’re in the middle too
Pointing out the hypocrisy of someone not adhering to binary standards.
Somewhere between scum and dumbass
Describing someone as morally ambiguous, caught between negative traits (repeated).
And you think you’re the goddamn glue?
Pondering if the person sees themselves as a unifying force.
You’re not fixing anything
Criticizing the person for exacerbating problems instead of solving them.
You’re making it worse
Highlighting the negative impact of suppressing individuality.
Because we cannot be ourselves
Expressing a preference for authenticity, even if it leads to societal rejection.
We’d rather be in a hearse
Choosing authenticity over conformity, even if it leads to a figurative death.
You told me to be one or the other
Reiterating the pressure to conform to binary choices.
But you’re in the middle too
Pointing out the hypocrisy of someone not adhering to binary standards.
Somewhere between scum and dumbass
Describing someone as morally ambiguous, caught between negative traits (repeated).
I guess your morals don’t apply to you
Critiquing someone for not practicing what they preach morally (repeated).
They don’t apply to you
Asserting that the person's morals don't apply to them.
They don’t apply to you
Emphasizing the lack of applicability of the person's morals (repeated).
They don’t apply to you
Continuing to highlight the lack of applicability of the person's morals.
They don’t apply to you
Stressing the non-applicability of the person's morals.
They don’t apply to you
Reiterating the non-applicability of the person's morals.
They don’t apply to you
Continuing to emphasize the non-applicability of the person's morals.
Then who the fuck do they apply to?
Posing a rhetorical question about who the person's morals apply to.
